Chapter 14: Sheep is so cute, why did you eat it?

Tang Mo receives Luo Fengcheng's credentials in dismay.

It was a metallic silver card with no photo on it, an electronic chip in the upper right corner, and three lines simply imprinted on the left side of the card.

[Name: Luo Fengcheng]

[Division: Shanghai Group A]

[Position: Team Leader]

After Tang Mo read the card, he passed it to the others, and each of the six people read it once before finally handing it back to Luo Fengcheng.

"Why did you just lie to us about being some kind of game designer?" Li Bin asked.

Luo Fengcheng put the card away, his expression unperturbed, and said indifferently, "Everyone has their own secrets. You hid your supernormal ability, to you, it is important and special. My identity is a bit special, I don't want to reveal it | at the beginning, can't you understand?"

Luo Fengcheng glanced at the crowd and continued, "There is no need to doubt the authenticity of my identity. As you all know, this tower attack game opened very suddenly, and there were only three minutes from the announcement of the tower attack to our official entry. It is impossible for me to prepare a card in advance and impersonate the identity of a Black Tower Researcher."

Lin Qiao pondered for a moment and seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She was about to open her mouth when Luo Feng Cheng looked at her, "There is also no need to wonder if I possess an extraordinary ability that allows me to create a card in a short period of time. If I really have this kind of supernormal ability, why would I create an identity card that I am a researcher of the Black Tower, when I can create a game designer's identity card. That way, I won't make you guys suspicious, and I can also slightly win your trust."

Luo Fengcheng blocked out the words of the crowd.

Finally, he looked at Tang Mo. Tang Mo's face was expressionless as she looked at him calmly, but her gaze was slightly cohesive.

Luo Fengcheng said, "I am a Black Tower Researcher, there is no need to doubt that. It's been half a year since the Black Tower descended, you should all know that Black Tower Researchers are protected from contact with the outside world. During those three days, I have been studying this Black Tower in Shanghai, I didn't have the opportunity or need to kill anyone. And ...... "After a pause in his voice, Luo Fengcheng inserted his hands into his pockets, "If I really want to kill someone, as long as I have a justifiable reason, I don't have to do it myself, there will be someone to help me out. Otherwise I'm protected by many people and I can't kill anyone."

The crowd shuddered, but Tang Mo looked steadily at Luo Fengcheng. He understood what the other party meant. Before Earth went online, there was a discussion on the internet that those white-coated researchers who appeared under the Black Tower were actually runners, and the truly powerful researchers were all protected by the state, with the frontline runners collecting data and information, and the state conducting research in private.

Aside from deep forests and oceans, whenever the Black Tower appeared in a city, it was inevitably located in the center of the city. If the country establishes its research institute next to the black tower, it would be a living target, announcing where the world's own base is located.

This internet discussion has never been officially confirmed, but many people are convinced.

Tang Mo believed that Luo Fengcheng was a Black Tower Fellow. He had just quietly used all his strength to break the card, but he didn't know what material it was made of, and actually didn't break it. He knew that he was extremely strong and could carry a car with his bare hands. He couldn't break the card, so it was obvious that the card was very special.

As Luo Fengcheng had said, if it was really an extraordinary ability, it was impossible to create such a card. The identity of the Black Tower researcher was too noticeable, and now the stowaway wanted to hide his identity the most, and wouldn't flaunt it like this.

Apart from the cook and the junior high school student who were at a loss, the other few people present no longer had any doubts about Luo Fengcheng's identity.

If such a person wanted to kill someone, I'm afraid that he wouldn't really need to do it himself, or he wouldn't be able to kill anyone at all. It was extremely unlikely that Luo Fengcheng was a stowaway.

Everyone had to say something about what they had done during those three days, Tang Mo and Li Bin were put aside for the moment, and now it was Lin Qiao's turn.

"I remember being in class when the Black Tower made the 'Earth on line' sound. I think it was some class ...... Oh yeah, it was the 15th, a Wednesday. The first two classes on Wednesday morning were high math classes. Because suddenly the Black Tower spoke, we didn't even make it to class, all the students went back to their dormitories, and the school sent out a group message telling us not to panic and to wait for notification."

Lin Qiao reminisced carefully, "Actually, I'm a 'Black Tower optimist'. I like to play survival games, and I've played every survival game on the market lately. I didn't take the Black Tower seriously at first. After I got back to my dorm, my roommates and I talked about the Black Tower for a long time, maybe into the night? Anyway, our school didn't allow classes for those three days, so I stayed in the dormitory and played the game. The cafeteria was also closed, so I ate takeout all those days and stayed in the dorm without going out."

Li Bin: "Is that all?"

Lin Qiao continued to dig her head in, and after a long time, she shook her head: "The four of us in the dormitory are all Shanghai locals, but my dad died a long time ago, and my mom went to Nanjing on a business trip. After Black Tower's accident, all three of my roommates went home the next day, and I was the only one who stayed in the dormitory. That morning I just got up to brush my teeth, heard the black tower and released the news, I still do not know what happened, until I opened the computer ready to play games, found that there is no network. Then I walked over to the next dorm and knocked on the door only to realize ...... everyone was gone."

Speaking of which, this female college student who had always acted brave and big-hearted couldn't hide the fear in her heart a bit. She swallowed and tried to keep her composure: "I really stayed in the dormitory and played games for those three days, I didn't kill anyone. I'm really not a stowaway. After the accident, I wanted to go to Nanjing to look for my mom, but I didn't expect to be pulled here before I even left Shanghai. You believe me, I really am not a stowaway!"

Li Bin nodded and looked towards Tang Mo and Luo Feng Cheng.

The two men have no objections, and Li Bin walks over to the next man.

Li Wen, a rich young man, looked over at Tang Mo, took a deep breath to ease his tension, and said, "On the first day of the three days, I went to Nanjing to hang out with my friends. We were still playing on the second day, and I think we were mostly clubbing that day. The second night my dad called me and told me to come home. I was too drunk to go back that night, so I planned to sleep and go back the next day, but I was suddenly rear-ended on the highway. I fell off the highway, and when I woke up, I saw Tang Mo. I didn't know anything about the Black Pagoda, and it was only because Tang Mo told me about it that I was rear-ended because the other drivers had suddenly disappeared. I am not a stowaway, I have never killed anyone."

The crowd looks to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo nods, "I first met him on the highway when his car was rear-ended. I'm not sure what happened to him before that though."

Li Bin frowned, "How can you make it sound so simple? Tell me more."

Li Wen bitter face, thought for half a day again: ''I have already been recalling before, but I basically played with my friends for those three days, drinking and whatnot, didn't do anything special. There's no need to talk about what we played, right? It's just the usual stuff we play, there's really nothing to talk about....... Drinking? Playing soccer? Uh, well, my friend also brought a couple of actresses to play with ......"

People didn't listen to Li Wen's words anymore, and Lin Qiao cast a scornful look.

Li Wen innocently said, "Hey hey, you guys told me to say ah, what can we play ah ......"

When Li Wen spoke just now, Lin Qiao had already explained the current situation to the cook. The cook was especially nervous when he understood the situation, his head was sweating with beans, he stood straight, and when he saw the eyes of the crowd looking towards him, he immediately said: ''I ...... was a cook, but after the black tower appeared half a year ago, my boss ran away in fear, and I lost my job. After that I relied on delivery to make a living. In those three days I delivered takeaways as usual, but because a lot of people don't go to work anymore, my order is much less. Also ...... nothing special happened ah, just delivering takeout. On the third morning when I went out to deliver the takeaway, I suddenly saw people disappearing from the street, and then I was so scared that I went home."

Li Bin said, "Can you make it clearer?"

The cook anxiously wiped his sweat: "Let me think about it ...... Oh yes, I remember I delivered two upscale neighborhoods. One in the Jing'an Temple side, the doorman does not allow bicycles to enter, I still walk into the food delivery by myself. There is also one in the People's Square neighborhood. The other ...... What should I say? What do you think I'm going to say? You tell me, I'll definitely tell you. I really haven't killed anyone, really! I'm not that stowaway!"

The cook was so anxious that he kept looking everyone in the eye, Tang Mo looked at him thoughtfully and walked over to the little girl.

Peng Liwen had been standing beside Lin Qiao, looking timidly at the others.

Lin Qiao said, "Don't be afraid, Wen Wen, just tell us what you did during those three days. Real stowaways must not be able to hide their fox tails ......" Lin Qiao's eyes flicked over Li Bin and Li Wen and said, "Just tell us."

The little girl nodded and said in a small voice, "I'm not a stowaway either, I haven't killed anyone. Like this sister, we weren't allowed to go to school anymore, so I was picked up by my parents and then stayed home. My dad had to continue working and my mom's organization said not to go to work, so she stayed home with me. My mom was worried that my studies would deteriorate if I didn't go to class and kept urging me to study hard. My mom taught me to study at home. I learn language and math from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., I take a nap in the middle of the day, I learn English from 2:00 p.m., and at 6:00 p.m. she does my homework with me and corrects it for me. Then ......"

The little girl's eyes reddened, "And then on the third day, Mommy suddenly disappeared, and I didn't know anything about it, and she was gone."

Lin Qiao took the little girl's hand and comforted her gently.

The little girl choked for a moment, her face white, her voice hoarse: "The night before mom disappeared also talked to me, let me not be afraid, as long as I'm good, she'll be good at everything. Mom ...... mom she disappeared ......"

Tears couldn't be held back any longer.

There were only two girls among the seven, and Lin Qiao hugged the thin little girl tightly, stroking her back and comforting her.

Li Bin looked at the two girls and his brows slowly furrowed. He opened his mouth before making a sound, and Tang Mo said, "Li Bin, it's your turn."

Li Bin froze and nodded his head about his experience: ''I work in a public relations company, responsible for marketing planning. After the incident with the Black Tower, our company didn't take a vacation and asked us to continue working. Personally, I was a bit resistant to the Black Tower, so I wanted to take a leave of absence, but there happened to be a big project in the meantime, and our boss didn't agree, so I had to keep working. I was pulled into a Black Tower game on the second day, that Black Tower game is called ......" Li Bin paused for half a day and said with an odd look on his face, "It's called 'Sheep and goats are so cute why do you want to eat it '."

Crowd: "......"

Li Bin looked up at Tang Mo: "You should understand, right? It's just that I was suddenly pulled into a very strange place. I didn't do anything at all. The Black Tower announced the start of the game and a bunch of weird rules. Me and three strangers were pulled into the game, and the four of us went in with a sheep's doll suit. The Black Tower said that we were now going to play hide and seek with a wolf in a maze. If we were caught we would be eaten. We have to find the divine egg located at the exit of the maze before we get eaten so we can defeat the wolf and win the game."

Seemingly also feeling that this game was too childish, Li Bin helplessly lowered his head, "The four of us decided to split up when we entered the maze. Since there is only one wolf, then this way we have a greater chance of surviving and not being caught in a pot. Later, I heard the screams of my two companions, and I guessed that they were eaten by the wolf. I hurriedly ran. But I couldn't find the exit of the maze, and I also felt that the wolf was particularly close to me. It was about to catch up with me when suddenly the black tower said the game was over and my other companion had found the divine egg. Then I don't know what happened,hollister france, won and returned to the company ......"

"I've been trying to tell the others about it, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to talk about the game, and I couldn't make a sound when I talked about it. Everyone at work thought I'd overslept and was late for most of the day. But I couldn't defend myself, I was too scared to go to work anymore and planned to drive back home the next day. Then everyone disappeared before I could get home."

Li Bin looked up at Tang Mo: "You're the same way, aren't you? Can't tell anyone else what happened, really, can't say anything!"

Tang Mo shook her head, "I ended the game at a coincidental time, not long after I did, everyone disappeared."

Li Bin said, "But I'm really an official player."

Luo Feng Cheng's bland voice rang out at this time, ''As a matter of fact, there is an omission in what I just said. It's not that only murderers who accidentally kill will react with excitement when faced with the revelation of their crimes. Any murderer, even a murderer who plots to murder, will have a special reaction when they are pointed out for their murderous behavior."

Luo Fengcheng suddenly interrupted as he finished his sentence, Li Bin's face changed: "What do you mean by this, I really am an official player, not a stowaway. Stowaways are clearly ......"

"He wasn't talking about you." Tang Mo said.

Luo Fengcheng glanced at Tang Mo, ''Any normal murderer would surely have a slight change of heart when Big Mole said the definition of stowaway just now. There are only two types of murderers who are indifferent. The first type is the sociopathic murderer, who doesn't feel that the matter of killing is wrong, so there will be no abnormality. The second type is the naïve murderer, who may be so young or ignorant that they don't know what what they're doing means, so even if their identity is revealed, they won't be too psychologically burdened."

Tang Mo nodded slightly, "I was actually very suspicious of you before you said your first words, but in my heart I still didn't want it to be you."

The tall, thin, handsome young man walked up to the two girls and bent down slightly to look at the timid, scared little girl.

"The first words you said revealed | your identity. But you're only fifteen, what did you kill? Why would you kill someone?"

Li Bin exclaimed, "Yes, the stowaway is her! I realized it just now."

Lin Qiao's hands stiffened as he held the little girl, quickly releasing them and moving away from her.

Tears were all over the little girl's face as she shrank back two steps in fear and choked out, "I didn't, I'm not ...... I didn't kill anyone, I didn't ...... I... ...I ......"

"You're the stowaway."

Tang Mo looks calm and hammering.
